Table showing the ex-disty price of West India Sugar In Mincing. lane, and comparing the same against the price of foreign sugars London, Sept. 21, 1538. The Gazette this day quotes the average price of British Per cwt. Plantation Muscovado Sugar, exclusive of duty, at 2Ss. 10d. Muscovado Sugars raised by free labour in the Manilla-- which arc frequently bought by the Dutch to be refined, and then to be resold in the Itiver Thames—in competi tion with British refined Sugars for exportation —are worth from 20s. to 225. per cwt. this week, being about 7s. 10d per c,7t. less than the average price of West India Sugars. Refined sugar, equal in quality to double refined (the manu. racture of it costing .ss. per cwt) has been sold this work (free on board) at Deducting shipping charges 2s. 2d. ale. 4d. which is 2s 6d. per cwt dearer only than the Muscovado Sugar from which it is made, being a loss to the sugar re. finer of 2s. 6d. per cwt., which the bounty on etcportation reimburses him. British Treacle is worth 95. per cwt. in the foreign markets. The same has Leen sold this day in London, free ofduty, at 255. Gd. per cwt., being an excess of price paid by the British consumer of 14s. Gd. per cwt., in other words 14s. Gd. per cwt, on Treacle paid by the poor man towards West India bounty, and not, as it is erroneously supposed, to wards revenue. British Plantation Coffee is from 84s. to 90s, per cwt. dearer than Coffee of a similar quality grown in a foreign colony—the duty on the former being 6d. per lb., and on the latter 15d. per lb. BRIGHTON RADICAL MEETING. .I=A BRIGHTON, SEPT. 23.—0 n Saturday evening there was a grand meeting of the Radicals of Brighton at the Town-hall, for the purpose of considering the propriety of obtaining an extension of the suffage, voting by ballot, and discussing the other questions of which their political creed is composed. The large room was soon after seven o'clock completely filled, not, however, altogether with the supporters of this party, but with many who were attracted by the announcement that Mr. Feargus O'Connor, the great gun of the extreme party, was to hold forth. At the above hour he accordingly made his ap pearance, and was received with great applause. The High Constable then took the Chair. Mr. SANDY, who is understood to be one of the followers of Owen, rose to move the first resolution :—" That this meet ing was of opinion that the true cause of all the corruption and anomalies in legislation, as well as the misery of the working classes of society, was to be traced to the present representa tive system, which was based on unjust privile*es ; and the time was now arrived for the establishing it on principles more in accordance with justice and the rights of the people. The meeting, therefore, now adopted the People's Charter, as drawn up by the London Association, containing as it did the five fundamental principles of Radical Reform—Universal Suffrage, Vote by Ballot, Annual Parliaments, no Property Qualification, and Payment of Members ; and at the same time pledged itself to use every effort to make it become the law of the land." Mr. FLOWERS seconded tile resolution. Mr. FEARGUS O'CONNOR, on rising, was received with im mense applause. He had many reasons for feeling pleased at meeting the people of Brighton, but the greatest was because they had sent a delegate ;o the late meeting in Palace-yard, who said their watch-word was " No surrender."—( Applause. ) Another reason was, that when their chains were in part thrown off—when they became the slaves of the middle classes instead of the slaves of the great—they sent upon trial to the House of Commons one of the best men that ever sat there— Mr. George Faithful!. He had been proud to meet in the National Assembly that man who had said he would oppose the damnable Poor-law to the deatb.—( Cheers.) The eyes of Europe were upon them. Their cause was a sacred cause. Why were they assembled there ? Because they could not procure justice. Because the House of Commons did not consist of the representatives of the people.—( Cries of " Hear, hear.") It was a clap-trap Hovse of Commons. The Members had been returned neither upon a question of policy or principle. They were a set of knight-errants, sent there upon a chivalrous principle for the Queen. Why did the people now ask for Universal Suffrage ? Because, till they got it, there was no such thing as representation, and till they had been deprived of it there hai been no such thing as taxes. The moment they were deprived of Universal Suffrage, by the 7th of Henry VI., taxes were transferred from the rich to the poor. [Mr. O'Connor continued for some time longer, in the same rambling manner in which the whole of his speech was de livered, and left the meeting amidst shouts of applause.] Other resolutions were passed, but of an unimportant nature. FINAL SETTLEMENT OF RE- PAVING OXFORD-STREET. Saturday the Marylebone Vestry assembled for the purpose of deciding the long-disputed and almost interminable ques tion, as to whether Oxford-street should be repaved or not, by the confirmation or non-confirmation of the minute of Thursday last, to rescind the determination come to by the vestry on the preceding Saturday to accept the tender of Mr. Mowlem, to repave the street for 27,0001. The inhabitants of Oxford-street filled the gallery, and exhibited an anxiety which would almost have led one to believe their very fates de pended on the issue of the day. Mr. DANIELL having been appointed to the Chair, Mr. KENSETT moved the non. confirmation of the minute. Mr. SNOWDEN seconded the motion. Mr. GLAZIER, Mr. Cox, and other Vestrymen, having spoken, Mr. KENSETT replied, when the'question was put, and upon a division, there appeared-- For the confirmation of the minute 42 For the non-confirmation 24 - Majority for retaining Oxford-street in its present state —ls The Vestry, after some other business, adjourned.

SPORTING IN TELLIGEN CE. D ONCA S TER RA CES.-CONCLUDED. The list for Friday was so much . more promising of sport than either of the four days preceding it, and the weather so fine as naturally to induce an expectation of at least an average attendance. Such, however, was not the case, the company until after the first race being unaccountably thin ; as the af ternoon advanced matters improved a little, but still there was a marked deficiency compared with former years. In the Grand Stand there was a tolerable muster of sporting men, and a small sprinkling of fashion, the proportion of ladies being as palpably small as it was on the Cup and St. Leger days. The meeting generally, as may have been collected from our previous reports, was not so successful as could have been desired by the inhabitants, the sport having fallen short from the number of forfeits, and the town lacked a consid er_ able number of its accustomed and most influe n ti a l v i sitors. It is but fair to state, however, that the liberality o f the Cor poration, if it could not command success, at least deserved it, and that every thing was done by the Messrs. Lockwood that zeal and judgment could dictate. The Stewards chosen for next year are the Earl of Chesterfield and G. L. Fox, Esq., than whom two more liberal or popular supporters of the turf could not have been selected. We subjoin particulars of Friday's races : The Scarborough Stakes of 30 sous. each, 10 ft., for three years old; colts, Bst. 61b; and fillies, Bst. 31b.

St. Leger Course. 5 Subs. Mr. C. M. St. Paul's ch. Creeping Molly, by Percy ...... Lye 1 Mr. Osbaldeston's b. The Fairy Queen 2 Duke of Cleveland's Virginia (Pucelle filly) The betting at first was 6 and 7 to 4 on Virginia, but on the dis covery that she had not recovered from the lameness which pre ventNl her starting for the St. Leger, the field obtained the call at 6 to 5, Creeping Molly finding backers at 2 to 1, and the Fairy Queen at sto 2. Creepily , Molly made all the running at fair speed, was never caught, and won easy. Virginia was beaten al most as soon as she started, and came in quite lame. The Hornby Castle Stakes of 20 soya. each, with 50 added by the Corporation; three yrs, ist ; four, Bst. llb ; five, Bst. 101 b ; six and aged, 9st ; 31b. allowed to fillies and beaten horses of the week, and the winner of the St. Leger to have carried 51bs. extra.

(TO DE CONTINUED. THE ROYAL SOCIETY. RETIREMENT OF H. R. H. THE DUKE OF SUSSEX FROM THE PRESIDENCY. The following letter was read to the Council at t h e i r l ast mee ting. The Council deferred the consideration of so im portant a communication until a more full attendance of mem bers could be insured, than is possible at this season of the year:— " Gentlemen—As it has ever been my rule te take no step, connected with the interests of the Royal Society, without either consulting the members, who form the Council, did I want their advice, or without informing them of any determi nation to which I may have thought it right to come in con nection with their concerns, it now becomes my painful duty to make to you the following communication, previous to my de parture for the country. " Circumstances over which I have no control, and which I did hope to have seen remedied (when once fairly represented, and properly explained to those whose duty it was to have noticed and to have considered them), force me to absent my self for awhile from London. This naturally must prevent my regular attendance and appearance amongst you and them, as often as I o ug h t to d o, and as you an d t h ey h ave a r i g ht to expect from the President of the Royal Society. With this impress i o n, I feel myself under the heart-rending and distressing neces sity of returning into their hands that trust which they have confided to my care for so many years, and of tendering to them the resignation of an office, which, under any other cir cumstances or consideration, would be the summit of my am bition, and my most anxious wish to hold. But, for the pre sent, Gentlemen, I cannot fill it either with credit to myself (being unable to do the honours of the situation in a manner suited to my rank and the station I occupy in the country ), or nith advantage to the character and dignity of t he establish ment it s elf. I trust, Gentlemen, that I hare performed the duties imposed upon me faithfully. Zeal , I venture to affirm, has not been wa nting on my part, my sole desire and anxiety having constantly been to forward to the utmost of my power the best interests of the Society, and to uphold the recognised and established merits of its individual members. How far I have hitherto succeeded remains for you as well as them to consider and to say. In my presen t situation, one of the severest though, pangs which I feel is my separation from you , al please God, it is only for a time ; but my heart and mind will alway s be with you at your meeting ; and, whe n n o longer your President, I shall ever be proud to consider my self one of your most attached Fellows, and on my return to reside at Kensington I shall be most happy to a pp ear again amongst yo u , in my private capacity of a member. " I cannot take my leave of you, Gentlemen, without ex. pressing to the several members, formiog the pccacnt Council, my best thanks for the courtesy w hich they, as well as their predec essors, have shown to me on all occasions during my Presidency for the last eight years ; a recollection I shall ever cherish as most consoling in my solitude. I hope that, al though retiring into privacy for a time, I may still be allow, d to keep up, with you and them, the same friendly intercourse which has so much contributed towards my happiness, instruc tion, and improvement. " If I may be permitted, on retiring from office, to give you a piece of parting advice, it would be to express to you a wish, and to impress upon you as my opinion, in the strongest manner possib!e, nay, even to implore you, to continue to cul tivate that same good will among the Fellows of the Society, and more especially amongst the Members of the Council, which it has ever been my most anxious desire to promote, and which I was so fortunate as to establish from the earliest hour that I had the happiness and honour to preside over your councils and labours. I hope and most fervently pray that the Royal Society may long continue to prosper and flourish ; but for this purpose, Gentlemen, you must join heart and hand, and cautiously avoid all matters which are of a ten dency to create angry feelings, or heart-burnings, on questions of a religious or a political nature. They have nothing to do with science, except to create difficulties and to impede philosophical researches. From these let me conjure you most cautiously to abstain. In electing my successor lot this rule guide your choice, as it has ever dictated my conduct in all transactions connected with the welfare of the Royal Society. lam sure the advice is friendly ; and as sound as it is well meant on my part. ' " And row it only remains for me to state to you, that on the 30th of November I shall with the deepest regret forward my resignation to the members of the Royal Society, as their President, and that you v.ill therefore consider this letter as my formal notificatjon of the event to the Council, by whom it ought to be communicated to the Fellows; and I do this with a view of showing my respect to them, as well as to serve the best interests of the establishment, by affording you and them a proper time to look out for, and to consider who may be the individual most fitting and best calculated to fill a situation of such importance, and of so high a distinction in the country. Believe me, Gentlemen, it is only after a long, painful, and the most mature consideration, as well as after the most severe struggling with my own private feelings, that I find myself forced to this conclusion, and to take the consequent step, which I do most unwillingly. " Once more, then, accept of my warmest thanks for your past kindness, as well as of my best wishes, at:d consider me always—Gentlemen, with esteem and regard, your sincere friend, and constant coadjutor in the promotion of science, " AUG USTUS F., P.R.S." LATEST NEWS FROM AMERICA. (From New York Papers of the Ist inst.) (From the New York Courier and Inquirer of Sept. 1.) ANTICIPATED INDIAN HOSTILITIES. We find in the Nashville Banner of the 22d instant an in teresting correspondence between Major-General Gaines and Governor Cannon of Tennessee, respecting the meditated hos tile movements of the Cherokee and other Indian tribes on the Western frontier, some general notice of which was published in this Paper a few days ago. We publish below General Gaines's letter to Governor Cannon, which discloses the character of the supposed hostile movement, and the disastrous effects which, in the General's opinion, must arise from it to the frontier settlements, unless the measures he indicates are promptly taken to prevent them. We cannot but hope, how ever, with the Editor of the Banner, that the object of the Indians in holding the Council has been misconceived, and that no hostile designs are entertained by them. They may have been called together by the Cherokees to take into considera tion matters of business affecting their mutual interests. " Head-quarters, Western Division. St. Louis, Aug. 8, 1838. " Sir,—l do myself the honour to transmit herewith for your information a copy of a long letter which I have just now received from Lieutenant-Colonel R. B. Mason, Ist Dra goons, commanding at Fort Leavenworth, reporting to me the well-ascertained fact that Cherokee Indians of the Arkan sas have invited all the chiefs, together with all the principal braves of all the tribes (excepting the Osage and Kansas) re siding near our western frontier north of the Red River to meet them in Council in the Cherokee country, on the Illi nois river, a few miles above the mouth of the river, about the 1 I th of September, next month. " The object of the Council, and the reason for excluding the Osages and the Kansas, are unknown, but the Lieutenant- Colonel states that there is no doubt in his mind that the object of the Council is to effect a union of the different tribes preparatory to striking a simultaneous blow upon the settle ments of Arkansas and Missouri, from the Red River to the upper Mississippi. " Concurring as Ido in this opinion, and being convinced that th• Cherokees of Texas and Arkansas have been insti gated by the agents of Mexico, who have been endeavouring for more than two years past to organize a combination of Cherokees, with all the nations west of Arkansas and the state of Missouri—a combination capable of bringing into action upon our frontier over 20,000 mounted warriors—a force that, under enterprising leaders, would lay waste the whole line of their settlement, from the mouth of the Sabine to the falls of St. Anthony, including the richest cotton-growing section in America, on Red River, with some of the most valuable sugar districts of Louisiana—if, indeed, the enemy is suffered to commence the work of destruction before our measures of protection are matured—with these impressions I cannot but anticipate authority to concentrate upon the Arkansas frontier a sufficient force to enable me to check the incipient movements of the Indians. " 5,000 mounted Kentuckians and Tennesseans, added to our present regular forces, among which is the lst Regiment of Dragoons (the best I have ever seen), would enable me to effectually thwart the designs of the enemy, and give better protection to the frontier than five times that force would ac complish after the,concentration of the enemy and his success ful commencement of his savage work of destruction. I have, therefore, respectfully to request of your Excel lency the promulgation of authority for the formation of volun-• teer companies, to be organized and held ready to march by the Ist of September, or as soon thereafter as they shall re ceive orders, to serve the United States six months, unless sooner discharged. Should the apprehended combination of most of the different tribes of Indians invited take place, I shall need for the defence cf the western frontier from 3,000 to 5 000 men from your State ; and I shall hold myself in honour and in duty bound to make every requisite provision for their health and comfort preparatory to meeting the enemy, and, above all, to afford them proper opportunity to curtain the chivalry of their State, and to take care of the sick and wounded. " I am, with very great respect, " Your Excellency's most obedient servant. " EDMUND P. GAINES, " Major-Genoral, United States' Army, commanding. " His Excellency Newton Cannon, Governor of Tennessee." Accompanying the foregoing letter is one from General Gaines addressed to the Secretary of War, in which, referring to the Indian movement, he says : " I deem it to be my duty to say, that if I am permitted to obtain 10,000 volunteers from the two great military st stes of Kentucky and Tennessee, I will attend the Indian Council with that or with any other force that I may be permitted to call to that point ; and I will do what I am in honour and duty bound to do, as the United States' officer intrusted with the command of the Western Division—namely, afford protection to the frontier inhabitants—that protection the work prepara tory to which shall commence before the work of destruction is begun. I will be ready to repel invasion." Governor Cannon's letter in reply to General Gaines says— " That any force of mounted volunteers, that you may be authorized to call for from the State of Tennessee will be furnished in the most prompt manner, at such point as you may designate. Some companies are now in readiness, wait ing an opportunity to engage in the service, and the mere promulgation of your letter, with its accompaniments, will re-kindle the long-cherished desire of Tennesseeans to signalize themselves in our country's defence under your command. " The only difficulty I apprehend will be in restraining their ardour to the requisite number that may be called for, as was the case on a former occasion when you sounded the war bugle, more than two years ago, on the western border of our Union. " Only make the call for any number that may be autho riztd, and our young citizen-soldiers will rush forthwith to the standard of our country." (From the Philadelphia Gazette.) We ere indebted to the politeness of a gentleman of this city for the following copy of a circular in relation to the duties on silks issued from the Controller's-office on the 4th of April, 1838: " It has been represented that at some ports the partial circular from this office of the 10th ult. is understood under the Act of 1832 to impose a duty of 231 per cent, on mits, gloves, hosiery, bindings, &c., without regard to the material, Such a construction is repudiated by the language of the cir cular, which distinctly excepts gloves composed of silk, and states them to be free of duty until the 30th of June, 1842 ; the circular referred to was predicted on the principle which has been too well settled in the recent decision of the Circuit Court of New York to adroit of question, that where a certain duty is laid by law on a specific article, the duty to be exacted on such article is not affected by any general terms of the same law. The Act of 1833, however, exempts from duty until 'the 30th of June, 1842, all manufactures of silk, or of which silk shall be the component material of chief value, coming from this side the Cape of Good Hope. This subse quent Act of Legislation is conceived to control all former Acts inconsistent with, or repugnant to, its provisions and tenour, so far as such manufactures are concerned. With the single exception of sewing silk, they are obviously entitled to an admission to entry free of duty until the 30th of June, 1842. when, in the absence of other legislation, the Act of 1832 will be revived, and decide the duty to be levied. In all those cases, therefore, in which a duty has been levied on mits, gloves, hosiery, bindings, laces, and lace.veils com posed of silk, under what is considered to be an erroneous application of the laces, and has been paid or secured by bond under protest, you are authorised to change the entries by cancelling the bond, or refunding the duties, as the case may require." Tun . 13ouNnattv LINE.—It would appear, from the state ments of the Bangor Whig, that Governor Kent is deter mined to commence sunning the boundary line between the state of Maine and this province, on the Ist of the ensuing month, as contemplated b y t h e State Legislature, notwith standing the subsequent action of Congress and the general Government on the subject. We know not what steps will be taken by the Cabinet at Washington in the matter; but we .feel convinced that as soon as the surveying party from Mair cuter the disput e d t err i tory, under dealt which according to the standing b e t ween t h e B r i t i s h an d A mer i can G o vcrnments to remain under British jurisdiction until the final settlement of t the questi on i n di spute, t h ey w ill b e prom ptly met and with as their pretunptiou deserves.--At. John's New Bruns wick Courier. CANADA. (From the Montreal Gazdie.) It is now generally understood that his Excellency Sir John Colborne will retire from the command of t;:c forces is those prQvinces, as soon as a successor shall have I`^en °lilted to the important situation. Among the persons s l .pken of as his Excellency's successor, the names of Lieutenant.- General Sir Sir Colin Campbeil, Sir Frederick Adam, and Sir Benj4min D'Urban have been meutioned. In the evert of Sir Colin Campbell being appointed to the command of the fordes in British North America, it is reported, we know not on what authority, that the Earl of Munster, eldest son of his late Majesty, will succeed Sir Colin in the administration of the government of Nova Scotia. It is stated in the Halifax papers, that during the absence in Lower Canada of his Excellency Sir Colin Campbell, the Government of Nova Scotia will be administered by Lieute nant_Celonel Snodgrass, Deputy Adjutant-General, the senior military officer in the colony, ru.cording to the regulation established in the event of the death or aLscnce of the Gover nors of Colonies. It is also stated that Captain Prescott, tl.e lieutenant-Go vernor of Newfoundland, would leave that island for Quebec on the adjournment of the Legislature, embarlijng on board her Majesty's ship Andromache, which, after landiog Sir John Harvey at Miramichi, proceeded to Newfoundland for the pur pose of conveying his Excellency to head-quarters. Yesterday morning, at four o'clock, the steam-boat john Bull left port for Quebec, having his Excellency the Governor— General and suite on board. It is stated in the Prince Edward Papers, brought to Que bec by the Medea steam-ship, that despatches had bet.n re ceived by the Lieutenant- Governor of that island from his Excellency the Governor-General, stating that, in conse quence of the outrage committed by a fishing vessel of the United States, in June last, upon the wreck of the Sir Archi— bald Campbell, a representation upon the subject had been transmitted to her Majesty's Minister at Washington, and that there was every reason to expect that tl e offenders would be brought to punishment, and reparation made for the injut y. It was also stated that in consequence of the inadequacy of the naval force in the Gulf, her Majesty's ship Pearl, Captain Lord Clarence Paget, and the Charybdis schooner, the Hon. Lieut. R. Gore, had teen ordered to cruise in the Gulf during the remainder of the season, for the protection of the fisheries and other British interests. We learn from the Bangor Courier, that Major Graham, of the United States engineer department, had recently left - . Bangor for Houlton and the St. Croix River, for the purpose of making a scientific survey of the posts selected in that part of the state of Maine by General Wool. The result of the Ge neral's 'risit to Maine has been to recommend the establish ment cf an arsenal at Bangor, the erection of a fortification at Bucksport narrows, on the Penobscot River, and a fortification at the mouth of the Kenebec, the establishment of a military post at Mooae river, on the Canada road, an advanced post on the Highlands, near the line, a military post at Calais, a post of observation in the town of Weston, on the Calais and Houlton road, near the Schoodic Lake, and another post of observation in the town of Amity. It is generally reported that Chief Justice Boulton, of Newfoundland, has been removed from office, iu consequence of the complaints made against him by the House of As sembly of that island. We have perused, in the It eufound land Patriot of the 23d of June, an extract of a letter from Mr. Nugent, one of the deputies tent over to England to plead the cause of the Assembly against Mr. Boulton ; and if the statements therein contained be true, there can be no doubt that the Chief Justice will be condemned to lose his office. His trial before the Privy Council had been gone through as far back as the 15th of May, and the case de cided upon ; but the Council had not made their report to the Queen. The Official Gazette of Thursday last has not been received by us to-day ; but we learn from the Quebec Mercury, that it contains an Ordinance, passed on that day by his Excellency the Governor-General and the Special Council, " to prevent the discharge of certain persons until they give security." In consequence of this measure, those still confined to prison on charges for political offences, and who have, as in Mr. Viger's case, refused to give bail for their future good behaviour, will be continued in confinement, not%lithstanding the expiry on the 24th instant of the ordinance suspending the Habeas Corpus Act. It is stated in th 6 Mercury, that the Official Gazette con tains the following appointments : General Commission of Inquiry into Municipal institu. lions Chief Commissioner.—The lion. Charles Buller; Assistant Commissioners.—bar. William Kennedy, and Mr. .dam Thom. It is stated in the Quebec Transcript, and we believe the statement to be correct, that Theller is to be transported for life, and that Sutherland is to be permitted to return to the States, upon giving security in 2,0001. that he will never again set his foot upon Canadian ground. It will be remem bered that Theller was tried in Upper Canada before the Court of High Commission for high treason, being a Briti.h. subject ; and that Sutherland was tried and convicted by a Militia Court-martial, constituted by an Act of the Legislature of Upper Canada during the last Session, entitled '• An Act to protect the inhabitants of this province against lawless ag gressions from the subjects of foreign countries at peace with her Majesty." It wilt also be remembered, that upon his trial Sutherland took objections to this Act, as being unconstitu tional, inasmuch as the Provincial Legislature had no power to pass such a law ; and, from the lenient manner in which he has been dealt with, it is supposed that the objection has been sustained by the law authorities in England. ( From the New York Commercial Advertiser of the 30th.) THE CANADIAN PRISONERS.—The day after to-morrow ( Friday) is the day appointed for the execution cf the four prisoners convicted at Niagara, to wit, Messrs. Bcarner, Chandler, Waite, and M‘Ltod, the other thirteen having had their sentence of death commuted to banishment and imprison. ment. We have reason to believe that neither of the four will be executed. FATS OF TILE PRISONERS.— Saturday was the day appointed for the execution of the sixteen prisoners convicted at Niagara, The only additional information we have respecting them is the following; lom the Toronto Palladium of Wednesday : " The notorious Beemer is sentenced at Niagara to be exe eu'cd on the 31st instant, and there is no doubt he will suffer. " A respite has been granted to Chandler, Waite, and IPLeod till the 31st instant. George Buck and Murdoch M•Fadden, sentence commuted_penitentiary. All the rest are to be transported to a penal colony fc,r life. " The prisoners who have been sentenced to the Peniten tiary, and to transportation for life, passed down the Lake yesterday." (From the Muntreal Courier of Monday.) L. M. \Tiger, having furnished the requrcd bail of 4,000/., was released from gaol on Saturday. The Session athe Court of Queen's Bench holding criminal jurisdiction in the district of Montreal commences this morn ing at ten o'clock. The following is a list of persons accused of murder : Francois Jalbert, John Bte. L'llussier, and Francois Mignauir, for the murder of Weir. Francois Nicolas, Amable Denais, Gideon Pinsonneau, and Joseph Pinsenneau, for !he murder of Chartrand. The Congress of Governors lately assembled at Quebec has broken up. Sru Cohn Campbell and Sir Charles Fitzroy; Governors of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward's Island, em barked for their respective Governments on board the steam ship Medea on Saturday lea. The frigate Inconstant and the sloop of war Vestal sailed from Quebec for Bermuda - on Friday. The Inconstant had been lying at Quebec since the 9th of May. ( From the Quebec Gazette.) A great many reports have been current in town for some days past about instructions received from England, relating to political offenders. We believe they are merely conjectural, and that the system adopted by the local Government will be adhered to. Sutherland, now in confi:lement here, it is said will be discharged, in consequence of some defect in the pro ceedings against him, and Theller will be sent to England. We observe that the system of discharge on security for good behaviour, and on condition of voluntary exile, has been acted upon in Upper Canada, after the receipt of the latest dis 'patches from England. (From the J-urnal of Commerce.) We learn by the brig System, Captain Murray, arrived last evening from Havannah, that intelligence had reached there of the assassination of the Governor of the island of Porto Rico, that about 250 of the inhabitants bad been arrested. Imme diately after the receipt of the above intelligence at Havannah, an additional numk or of troops, amounting to between 500 or 600 men, were ordered to Porto Rico.
